Planning corporate succession is of critical importance, in particular for midsized family-owned companies. FPS advises German and international clients on structuring corporate succession, using interdisciplinary teams of corporate lawyers, estate lawyers and tax lawyers, as well as notaries. We resolve all issues that arise in close cooperation with our clients' accountants, tax advisors or other advisors. Together, we develop customized solutions for our clients for the implementation of risk prevention measures, the development of succession arrangements (e.g., inter vivos transfer, testate transfer, inheritance agreement, sale), and the tax-optimization of corporate or testate succession. In addition, we represent clients in connection with inheritance disputes in court and mediation proceedings.
